About

A monthly-rebalanced, two-part strategy: 60% leveraged/momentum equity tilt (inverse-volatility weighted across five ETFs) plus 40% hedges (managed futures, anti-beta BTAL, and GLD gold exposure) to balance growth and risk in a diversified, macro-style approach.
NutHow it works
- The portfolio is split 60% Long/High Beta and 40% Hedge. - Long/High Beta: invest in five ETFs (SSO, QLD, SPMO, EEMO, IDMO) that give amplified equity exposure with momentum-like characteristics. Weights are determined by inverse-volatility over the past 28 days, so assets with lower recent volatility tend to receive larger weights. The goal is to tilt toward relatively steadier, momentum-driven exposures within a leveraged equity framework. - Hedge: allocate the remaining 40% to three sub-strategies: - Managed Futures: five futures-oriented ETFs (DBMF, CTA, CAOS, FLSP, KMLM) with equal internal weights, representing trend-following across asset classes to dampen equity downturns. - Anti-Beta: BTAL, a market-neutral tilt that tends to perform when high-beta stocks lag, providing protection in stressed markets. - Gold/Metals: GLD provides a hedge against inflation and systemic risk; GLD is given 70% of its Gold bucket, within the 30% Gold allocation in Hedge, introducing a cash/other remainder in that bucket. - Within Hedge, the sub-strategies together total the 40% Hedge allocation (with some minor rounding leading to a small cash portion in the Gold bucket). - Rebalance happens monthly to reset weights and reflect recent volatilities and performance. - The strategy blends leveraged equity exposure with risk-management instruments to aim for growth with downside protection, suitable for investors who understand leverage, diversification benefits of non-correlated assets, and the costs/risks of systematic hedges.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
